GMKtec Teases a New High-End Mini PC With OCuLink or Dual SSD Options
GMKtec appears to be preparing another compact powerhouse for the mini PC market. The company has started teasing a new, currently unnamed mini PC, and early hints suggest it could target users who want serious performance in a smaller desktop footprint.
The upcoming device seems to follow the same premium direction as GMKtec’s high-end EVO-T2s series, but the company has not yet confirmed the final name, full specifications, or launch window. Instead, GMKtec is asking its community to help shape one of the most important design choices: should the next mini PC prioritize OCuLink expansion or extra internal storage?
This new teaser comes shortly after the launch of the GMKtec EVO-X5 Pro, a larger and more powerful system built around AMD’s Gorgon Halo platform. The EVO-X5 Pro replaced earlier EVO-X models and stands out for its extreme memory configuration, with support for up to 192 GB of RAM and up to 160 GB allocated as video memory in certain setups.
However, the next GMKtec mini PC looks like it may return to a more compact design. The EVO-X5 Pro measures 221 x 195 x 80 mm, while the EVO-T2s is significantly smaller at 154 x 151 x 73.6 mm. GMKtec’s teaser suggests the new model could be closer to the EVO-T2s in size, making it more appealing for users who want a powerful desktop computer that takes up minimal desk space.
One of the biggest points of interest is OCuLink support. OCuLink has become increasingly popular among mini PC enthusiasts because it allows high-speed external GPU connectivity. For users who want a small system today but the option to add desktop-class graphics performance later, OCuLink can be a major advantage.
According to GMKtec’s current concept, the new mini PC could arrive in one of two configurations. The first option would include an OCuLink port alongside a single M.2 SSD slot. This setup would likely appeal to users who want external GPU expansion for gaming, AI workloads, video editing, or other graphics-heavy tasks.
The second option would replace OCuLink expansion with dual M.2 SSD slots. This would make the system more attractive to users who need more internal storage for large files, media libraries, project archives, or game collections. In theory, dual SSD support could allow the mini PC to reach up to 16 TB of storage, depending on drive compatibility and capacity.
There is also a possibility that GMKtec could offer a more flexible solution by using an OCuLink-to-M.2 approach. If the company includes an adapter or supports a shared interface design, users may be able to choose between adding a second SSD or using OCuLink expansion. That would give buyers more control over how they configure the system.
For now, GMKtec has not revealed the processor, graphics hardware, memory limits, port selection, cooling system, or pricing for the new mini PC. The teaser mainly confirms that the company is exploring a compact high-performance design and is actively collecting feedback from potential buyers.
If GMKtec gets the balance right, this upcoming mini PC could become an interesting option for power users who want a small desktop with either expandable graphics performance or massive internal storage. The choice between OCuLink and dual SSD slots will likely define the device’s target audience, whether that is gamers, creators, developers, or productivity-focused users.
GMKtec is currently inviting users to vote on their preferred configuration through its community channels and online feedback form. More details are expected once the company finalizes the design direction for its next high-end mini PC.
